Thanks....most useful
I got my self the half bike 2 last year.
Really enjoying the tutorials.
I was riding it last week while my partner watching and he commented that I should try riding with the axle of the pedal under the arch of my feet to help take my quickly fatigued calves out of the question. (I am an ex bike racer and always ride with the pedal axle under the ball of my feet). It seemed to work!
What are your thoughts about foot position on the pedals?
Cheers!
Hi Andrea. Thank you so much for the compliment. I love seeing riders get helpful experiences from my tutorials. As for the question: I now ride with my foot right in the middle, like you said. Occasionally, I still shift to the ball of the foot - just to get a bit more exercise for my calves but most of my riding now is with the pedal under the arch. So... carry on. You are on the right track. Cheers!!!
@@halfbikerjimmy thank you so much for tour reply.
About to have a half bike session right now☺️☺️☺️
Hey Jimmy thank you for the great video. I am an avid bike enthusiast and have had an obsession with the halfbike for sometime now. I have held off due to what appears to be a tough time learning curve. After the person learns they don't seem to love the ride. Would you give me your opinion on the bike and what you like about the ride.
Sorry so late - I am new at publishing and didn’t realize I had questions. Sorry. Anyway - I love my Halfbike. I like it more now that I am more confident riding it. I was very scared at first - hard to control it on a narrow path and with people around. But now - I absolutely love it. I feel I get cardio and muscle toning in one fun ride.
I'm very interested in this bike. How do you like it so far? Do you recommend it if? This looks like it combines riding and running. What's your take on this bike?
I love my Halfbike. This is more like running and muscle toning. Every time I ride, I run out of breath (cardio) and feel many muscles burning (legs, arms, back, core, shoulders...). Great all around workout. Plus FUN
Hola Jim,
I just ordered myself HB3 and I only received my initial email with conf number.but my real question to you is..did they charge you before shipping like they did me.. and how long before you received your product. I’m because normal business practices in usa is you don’t get charged until item is shipped.. I’m a bit worried because I have sent 2 emails to the company and have not received a response yet.. but I’m going to hope they are a legitimate business because I see others do have there product including yourself... and FYI: one of the reasons for my purchase was because of your videos thank you for that.. hope to hear from you soon..keep it up 👍
Hola Sina-Maan! :-) thanks for getting in touch. They are super legit. They’ve been doing this for 4-5 years. That’s their primary business. They are swamped now (because everyone wants an outside exercise equipment during COVID days). Yes. They charge and then they pre-assemble your Halfbike and then ship. I believe it should take 2-3 weeks. I just got my H3 a couple weeks ago and don’t have experience in it to make videos yet. Soon.
Very important: when you get yours and ready to roll - PLEASE watch my first 4-5 videos from the very beginning. I teach beginner tips how to get started. You will save weeks of pain and suffering by watching my 3-5 2min videos.
Cheers. Can’t wait to hear your feedback!!!!
@@halfbikerjimmy thank you much for the quick response, you put me at ease with this info.. And I have watched your video but I will watch them again as a reminder.. I don't know if this will help me in my HB journey but I ride other how can I say it. Weird transposition wheels.. I ride. EUC and I also ride. One wheel.. so hopefully all that balance can help me progress faster but, learning is half the fun. . No pun intended 😁.
Thank you again sir..
@@690drak Hi Sinaman, I'm Denitsa from the Halfbike team :)) Please check your spam folder when you have a spare moment, I believe our replies might be hiding there.
@@denitsapenkova3848 hola Denitsa I did check my spam and junk folder and do not find the first email but I did receive your second email explaining everything to me and thank you very much for that.. Everything seems fine now. I'm just excited and waiting on my HB3 to start this new journey of FUN n FITNESS... AND yes half bike company is Legit business for who ever reads this. Go order yourself one..
@@690drak Glad to hear it, thank you for the update! Looking forward to your first impressions, we'll keep in touch :))
hey Jimmy I cant find tutorial about how to align the front tire. do you have any advice?
Hi. I don’t think there is a tutorial. I remember someone recommended to just do it by the eye. Just stand in front and use your eyes to lone it up. That’s what I did when I replaced mine. I will look at my notes and see if I have anything else.
@@halfbikerjimmy i dont know how to loosen the bolt on the gear hub side. that is the problem
@@DIEGOGONZALEZ-np9ed I had instructions for that. Trying to find them. It’s been a while. Hang on.
Found it. There is a detailed tutorial on replacing front tire:

If you have H3 - then I don’t know. I have H2. Contact Halfbike people on their Facebook. They have 3 moderators there and they can answer questions and help.
I really love to buy that but too expensive for me im not rich. I hope someone who has a big heart can sponsor and buy me this thing. I would really appreciate that my whole life.
i find it realy tiring for my feet while riding the half bike......i have my diy halfbike...
DIY Halfbike? Did you make it yourself or just modified an actual Halfbike?
@@halfbikerjimmy yes...i just copied the design of the actual halfbike....my frame is from the bmx bike.....covered with steel plate..i cant afford to buy this bike so i decided to make my own..
@@gracia10783 - Wow. That’s really wild. I’ve never heard of anyone making a Halfbike as diy. I am not sure how to help you about the feet. My feet never were in pain, even when I was learning. My whole body (arms, legs, shoulders) felt tired like after hard exercise but never feet. But... as with everything in this world, the more you DO IT (the more you ride it) - the better you will become and your body will learn how to ride more efficiently and less pain.
I still love my Halfbike and can’t wait to ride it a few times a week. Keep riding. Cheers
@@halfbikerjimmy sorry wrong word.what i mean my legs not the feet...my whole body felt tired..just like what you feel...im still having a hard time riding it...i am still not relax and exerting more force in the handle....yes true the half bike is fun and exciting....
@@halfbikerjimmy i am still learning the curve......i have just finished making it last wek....
